LinkedIn is a professional social networking site. You can set up a professional profile after creating an account. Then you send out invitations to colleagues or other professionals to join your network. You can ask colleagues to write a professional recommendation for you which can be handy if job hunting. There are also a number of professional groups within LinkedIn that you can join. This provides opportunity to network with other professionals in your field.
